Help me with this question
All the alternatives seems right to me
Does ‘quite’ just mean very?
People seem to use ‘quite’ to mean very or pretty, whereas I personally think it has more of a sarcastic or slightly judgmental tone.
As a native English speaker, seeing something like this in the wild (from a YouTube Channel about learning English) is a bit concerning.
I don't know what else to say but I have one of those posts where something is absolutely being taught incorrectly. And it bothers me enough to post about.
What do you call this thing?

Questions about the word “Both” in negative sentences
I came across this section in my cousin’s English textbook on how to use the word “both” in negative sentences. Here is the example from the textbook: “Both my brothers don't like birds” I thought the sentence meant “Neither of my brothers likes birds” But apparently it means “One of my brothers likes birds, but the other doesn't.” Some sites even suggest that “both” cannot be used in negative sentences, which makes it even more confusing for me. Which is correct?
